In a deep pot, put the olive oil and saute mixture for about 5-10 minutes. Add desired water or broth and boil. Add canned corn and chicken (if you are using them) after boiling then let simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
Serve in bowls top with one or two avocado slices, cilantro and tortillas strips. Put lime on the side so it can be added by individuals according to their taste.

White Chicken Chili

This is a modified version of a recipe on allrecipes.com that I enjoy greatly and that gives you a lot of protein, a lot of taste, and very few calories. You could make it much faster and easier with pre-prepared chicken breast, first sauteed with the onions and garlic in olive oil. You would increase the amount of broth by 1/2 cup or so and wouldn't use water in that scenario. Submitted by: TISHARAY

This soup sounds excellent but, I am a bit concerned why the nutritional information does not match the ingredients. Wish I could know the protein contents. I am looking forward to making it. - 11/4/07
